Spicy Love In The Wind

training

A ninja star flew in the air, sharp and light despite being made of metal. It flew so beautifully through the wind, the wooden stump slightly jumping from the ground as the ninja star hit it, leaving another one of many, many cuts in it. By now it had nearly been split in half by how many times the ninja stars had hit it. Ninja walked over to the worn out stump, treading so lightly that he didn’t make a sound. He then yanked the ninja star out of the wooden stump.

"Still not good enough.." Ninja commented, seeming upset. He was tired, he had been training all night, up ‘till early morning. He went to check the time.

4 AM in the morning. Ninja’s eyes widened, had he really been training since 8??? The cookie looked in the mirror across the room. It showed his tired face, heavy eyebags, dark circles, alongside deep green eyes and long, beautiful thick eyelashes. Ninja walked over to the kitchen to brew some coffee, and he heard a voice that sounded of a child. He turned around to find a small ghost calling his name.

"N-Ninja?.." whispered Little Ghost, who was hiding behind the wall close to the door. The little ghost looked worried, and seemed to be tearing up by seeing the taller, tired and slightly injured cookie standing before them.

"I’m alright little one, don’t worry it was just...some training, I'm fine.." said the tired cookie, who's voice went from bitter to as soft as silk in just a few seconds. Ninja walked over to Little Ghost, picking them up and holding them in his arms, winding their eyes while giving a soft expression, cradling them like a baby. Little Ghost had a frown on their face, they didn't like how Ninja was staying up so late till morning training.

"It's very early, have you slept?.." Ninja asked, rubbing his eyes as the small ghost in his arms seemed upset.

"Come to bed, N-Ninja.” said the small ghost, putting their hands on Ninja’s chest while tearing up more and sniffling. Ninja gently brushed his hand over their eyes, wiping their small tears.

"Shhh..." shushed the tired cookie. Little Ghost patted the tired ninja's face, still upset and teary eye'd. Ninja walked over to the room where Little Ghost slept, still not making a sound as he slowly creeped to the small basket-like bed where Little Ghost slept, placing them down and gently wiping their face with a tissue. As the small child held onto Ninja’s hand, not wanting him to leave, Ninja picked up the basket gently which contained soft, warm blankets and a small, soft pillow, taking it to the room he slept in and laying down. He then gently set the basket on the bed.

"Are you going to sleep..?" asked the small ghost, seeming not so upset anymore. The tired cookie smiled under his mask while dimming the lights, making sure it wasn't all the way dark.

"I guess I'll try...I don't want you to be upset.” said the sleepy cookie, who gave the ghost a small kiss on their head, tucking them in. Now laying on his side, he tried to keep his eyes open but failed. After a few minutes his eyes closed, his long eyelashes overlapping his eyes as he drifted off to sleep.

The next morning

Ninja's eyes fluttered open. Seeing the early morning’s sunlight, he got up and stretched, feeling refreshed.

"Finally got some sleep for once..."

He said while patting little ghosts head gently not wanting to wake them.  He went to his training ground to train again now that he wasnt tired he then started to practice his jump once again even tho he was already extremely amazing at it, one jump two jumps three jumps, he jumped while his feet skipped on the air, he skipped over one ninja star two ninja stars three ninja stars, he saw the last ninja star as he jumped up and up, even tho hes done this a trillion times he still had trouble with the last ninja star. He zoned out for a second thinking of how he was gonna double jump over, he then felt a sharp pain in his foot the ninja star cut deep into his foot as he yelped in pain he jumped again and felt himself fell onto the ground on his stomach,

"S..-shit.."

He groaned in pain as he saw blood on the ground from his cut foot, he knew little ghost would come racing down into the training court to help him,he could already hear little ghost calling his name from a far distance, he saw little ghost floating towards him at a fast pace, once they saw the blood and the hurt cookie on the ground they sobbed and tried to get ninja to a medic yet ninja couldn't get up, ninja saw a blurry cookie like figure then passed out.

15-20 mintues later

Ninja opened his eyes as he found himself inside a house, he looked over to the side, seeing little ghost curled up in their basket of pillows and blankets looking as if they were crying for hours. Ninja looked around the area he was in, dark brown walls with red and some green,

"Finally your awake!"

Yelled red pepper who was coming in with some medicine as ninja felt a headache coming, as red pepper gave him the medicine on a spoon,

"Drink it"

Demanded red pepper holding the spoon up to ninjas face while sitting down, ninja didnt expect red pepper out of all people to be caring for him, red pepper had a tension with ninja for a while ninja didnt know why tho,

"I don't need any medicine... I'm fine.."

Ninja said as he tried to stand up only to fall and be caught by red pepper,

"No your not, now take your medicine!"

Red pepper yelled as he set ninja down on the bed gently, red pepper held the spoon up to ninjas face looking away so ninja could take off his mask,

"Thank you.."

Ninja toke off his mask and sipped the medicine from the spoon, he put it but on as he felt the bitter yet disgustingly sweet taste of the medicine,

"How did you find me anyway..?"

Ninja asked as he looked at red

"Little ghost came to me and lead me to you, your foot got cut by your ninja stars you need to be more careful!!"

Red pepper yelled, ninja shushed him while pointing to a napping little ghost,

"Oh sorry.."

Red apologized. Ninja picked up little ghost gently to hold them, he stroked their back as red watched in gaze, [hes so gently with them...] red though while smiling a bit. Ninja turned his head to red, red smile faded as he blushed slightly looking away,

"Would you like to hold them?"

Ninja asked while scooting towards red who blushed again,

"i-i guess.."

Ninja showed red how to hold little ghost,gently handing red the small ghost who was still napping,

"Hold them gently cradle them like a baby"

Ninja said as red did as he was told holding the small ghost,

"Aw their kinda cute"

Red smiled, ninja smiled a bit under his mask,

"Thanks for patching me up"

Ninja said as he got up ready to go back home taking little ghost in his arms,

"Its no big deal, anyways bye"

"Bye"

Ninja lefted leaving a sort of sad red pepper alone.
